Met 'em on the highway Way out on the road Where they were a-headin' Don't think anybody knows Didn't care where, Only needed to go They're just rollin' along Pulled into a truckstop A hundred miles to go Feelin' kind of beat up After eatin' up the road Thought we had it tough 'Til we heard their tale of woe They'd been rollin' along Livin' on the highway Rollin' along Travellin' way too far Rollin' along With the mess they're under Lightnin' and the thunder... Just rollin' along Rollin' along Said they'd play for pickin's Any place on up the road Thought it would come easy They'd be rakin' in the dough Barely brings a livin' Said "I guess it comes slow" And they're rollin' along Told me they'd seen trouble A short time ago At a rock n' roll house Where they'd tried to steal the show Cowboys let 'em have it And they showed 'em where to go Now they're... Rollin along Livin' on the highway Rollin' along Travellin' way too far Rollin' along With the mess they're under Lightnin' and the thunder Just rollin' along Haven't got an eagle Or a place to lay their heads Have to run the highway Still they're gonna make it Still they've got the will You know they're gonna make it They keep climbin' up the hill Rollin' for the highway Stood and watched 'em go Wonderin' if they'd manage As they blew off down the road Thinkin' how we'd made this trip So many years ago Just rollin' along Livin' on the highway Rollin' along Travellin' way too far Rollin' along With this mess they're under Lightnin' and the thunder... Just rollin' along Rollin' along Just rollin' along Whoa, rollin' along Keep those wheels a-turnin' Whoa, rollin' along Just rollin' along Just rollin' along
